MCA Statement—(Okemos, MI, June 3, 2020) The Community Action movement was formed in the crucible of the Civil Rights era of the 1960s to fight poverty at the local level. Our movement is part of the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., President Lyndon B. Johnson, and countless community activists who envisioned an empowered, community-centered way to fight poverty and cultivate economic opportunity. Read the full Statement from Michigan Community Action about the Social Justice Roots of Our Movement and Anti-Racism.
Virtual Services—Effective March 23rd, in an effort to ensure the health and safety of our customers, volunteers and staff, Mid Michigan Community Action is transitioning to offering services over the phone. Offices will be closed to the public during this time. While our offices are closed, most services are still available. Please contact your local office for more information.
Commodity Food Distributions—We have a few changes to ensure the health and safety of all involved: Please remain in your vehicle when you arrive at the site. We will be checking you in from your car and will place your food box in your trunk.  If the line is too full to safely enter, please park your vehicle in a parking spot and wait. Do not block entrances or exits with your vehicle. We will remain on site until all customers have received their food. Private site distributions will also continue. We will modify our procedures for each unique setting.
Food Resources—Find more organizations that are offering free and discounted meals for your county, or call 2-1-1 for referrals to food pantries in your area.
Midland WIC—Mid Michigan Community Action’s Midland WIC Clinic is committed to providing uninterrupted services to our families.  To help ensure the health and safety of our customers and staff we are conducting all appointments over the phone at 989-832-7310.  The clinic is not open to the public at this time.  The state will automatically issue three months of benefits to WIC clients.
​We take the safety of our customers, volunteers, and staff very seriously and will continually be monitoring the situation based on guidance from the CDC, state and local governments.

Census 2020

The reminder mailings for the 2020 Census have gone out, and over 50% of households have already responded which means we're well on our way to ensuring everyone is counted!
To complete your Census online, visit My 2020 Census. Enter the Census ID on the letter you received. You can also complete the Census my phone or by mail. To respond by phone, call the number on your Census mailing. If you want to respond by mail but don't receive a paper questionnaire with your first mailing, wait to respond and one will be sent to you in April.

A complete count on the Census means that our communities receive the funds we need to serve everyone through projects from road maintenance to children's healthcare for the next ten years. Make sure everyone in your household is counted.
